With Boise also off the grid, I think that does it for the ACC Western bowl project. I think our westernmost bowl is now in Mobile, Alabama.

When the Head Ball Coach isn't drawing up ball plays for his ball players, he wonderin' why Bobby can't keep his dadgum wins. And don't get him started on the Seminoles' track team.

No surprise here. ACC also leads with four host teams, FSU, Georgia Tech, UNC and Clemson. Gators also land a bid.

• Atlanta/Georgia Tech
• Austin, Texas/Texas
• Baton Rouge, La./LSU
• Chapel Hill, N.C./UNC
• Clemson, S.C./Clemson
• Fort Worth, Texas/TCU
• Fullerton, Calif./Cal State Fullerton
• Gainesville, Fla./Florida
• Greenville, N.C./East Carolina
• Houston/Rice
• Irvine, Calif./UC-Irvine
• Louisville, Ky./Louisville
• Norman, Okla./Oklahoma
• Oxford, Miss./Ole Miss
• Tallahassee, Fla./Florida State
• Tempe, Ariz./Arizona State

This was long overdue, but the league will still make one team go out to San Fran while everyone else stays in the South (or DC).

Glad he's not going to Memphis. A nice reward for a great season.

Congrats to Toney!

Way to go Noles!!

Is this perhaps the greatest suit in the FSU basketball history? Probably so. Maybe Leo should wear this every game to distract the other team's defense, thus leading to fewer turnovers. ;-)
